Basement Waterproofing, Concrete Lifting & Foundation Repair in Worth County, IA

Lee O. in Northwood, IA noticed that after the winter, his driveway has sunk about two inches from the lip of his garage. It was becoming a trip hazard and it frustrated him every time he shoveled the driveway in the winter because the shovel kept getting caught on the uneven concrete. He wanted to find an effective and affordable way to repair his driveway instead of having to replace it. He saw a commercial for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution. He contacted us, and we sent a Design Specialist to his home to provide him with a FREE estimate. Lee was pleased to learn that PolyLevel is more affordable, non-invasive, and efficient than traditional concrete repair.

Our PolyLevel expert drilled penny-sized holes into multiple spots of the driveway where the foam would be injected. He injected the PolyLevel foam until the concrete was leveled and raised to the appropriate height. Once the foam is injected, it takes about 30 minutes to cure, so Lee was able to see the transformation almost immediately. The entire process took a couple of hours. Lee is glad he chose American Waterworks and now he can enjoy a raised and level driveway for years to come!

After hearing the benefits of using PolyLevel, the homeowner knew this was the best option. Next, Brad passed the proposal off to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project.

Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their sidewalk was properly repaired.
